From the episode

I think Lamar and having to account for him in the run game helped open things up as well for Derrick Henry. Certainly Mahomes scrambled around a little bit, but that's not the same type threat.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Henry loses Lamar's run-game threat advantage vs. KC but still faces favorable run matchup.

Derrick Henry benefited significantly from Lamar Jackson's dual-threat presence in Week 1, which forced defenses to account for Jackson in the run game and opened up running lanes. Against Kansas City in Week 2, Patrick Mahomes does not present the same type of run threat, meaning Henry will face a more focused defensive approach. However, the matchup remains favorable given Kansas City's defensive adjustments and the Ravens' commitment to the run game.
